18\geq 42+5x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
42+5x\leq 18
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
5x\leq 18-42
Subtract 42 from both sides.
5x\leq -24
Subtract 42 from 18 to get -24.
x\leq -\frac{24}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
